From the www.whitehouse.gov website, this report was compiled during the Bush years:

In 1998, the Federal budget reported its first surplus ($69 billion) since 1969. In 1999, the surplus nearly doubled to $125 billion, and then again in 2000 to $236 billion. As a result of these surpluses, Federal debt held by the public has been reduced from $3.8 trillion at the end of 1997 to $3.4 trillion at the end of 2000 and to an estimated $3.2 trillion in 2001. With continued prudent fiscal policies, the budget can remain in surplus for many years.

Obviously, this didn't factor in Bush and his party starting a huge drinking party with a bunch of sailors.

So, you calling Bush a liar? Well, join the club.
